I agree with your assessment of this person in general but agree with Jane’s advice. If you are truly repentant and cheated once (not multiple times), don’t tell them. The cheater should feel guilty and like shit, but not dump shit feelings on another.

It’s SO GOOD. Hmm, maybe I’ll re-read that one before revisiting the MadAddam trilogy. I also bought her recent book of short stories and read about half of them before getting distracted by my desire to re-read Life After Life, but I should go back to the short stories.

That’s pretty awesome! My AP English teachers put very few women authors on our reading list. One was The Bell Jar but I had already read that. Teachers really do make all the difference.

I don’t know if she went to the stage more in the last few years because she got tired of working in Hollywood, but I get the feeling that Samantha might have really hindered Kim’s acting career.

She didn’t like biking,…

My first thought as well.

In other news, Charlie Boorman was seen purchasing a pair of new R1200GS’s...

Congratulations* on their long relationship!

Lainey has long danced around the issue of their open marriage, so I doubt him seeing someone else is why they are divorcing.

Not to even mention the new sucky Kinja situation where you have to scroll to get to your responses. Are they trying to get rid of the commenters? They’ve essential killed AVClub.

My favorite bush quotes:

What level of awful do you have to be as a human, let alone a president, to make George “This is the guy who tried to kill my dad!” Bush look in any way acceptable?
